If you knew you would never be accepted by your BF kids....?

He is 63 and I am 45. He has grown kids, the oldest being my age from his first marriage and from his second marriage the youngest is like 24. He has been divorced for 2yrs and we have lived together ever since. All of his family knows that we live together.

I didn't force him to leave his wife for me, but he did. I tried to get him to go back and be faithful to her since the truth was out (he had rather be hated for the truth, than loved for a lie). He did go back about 3 times to work things out, but he says he couldn't live without me.

He hasn't forced the issue, but his kids don't want anything to do with me. I'm left out at Christmas and Thanksgiving and all of the rest.

He doesn't want to get married until they accept me and I guess I can understand that to a degree, but aren't they running his life?

I want to do the right thing and get married, LORD knows we both have messed up enough in our lives.., but in a perfect world.....

Im sorry for their hurt and I would like to move forward as them as my friends or at the least talking to each other. It hurts that my BF won't marry me because of them. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't let my kids stand in the way of doing the right thing and it is the right thing cuz he ain't going back to his ex.

I mean we've made enough mistakes, why not put an end to them and do the right thing. His Pastor says the same. I'm starting to believe he just used me to get out of his situation and that he doesn't really love me at all.

Should I ask him to leave my house and this relationship? I'm starting to resent him because of this and that ain't good !
